This footage was supplied to the Preserving Virtual Worlds project by Bruce Damer from his collection of videos documenting the history of virtual worlds.

The introductory area is a safe place outside of the city in which one can buy weapons, practice by sparring, and get acquainted with the region. Once we step inside, we can take a tour of the remains of this dystopian New York. This footage was...

The idea is basically to get people to answer these four little big questions: 1. What excites you about current metaverse technology? 2. What concerns you about current metaverse technology? 3. What will be most the surprising impact of metaverse technology on society within the next decade? 4. What barriers will metaverse technology never overcome? Our hope is to build a time capsule.
